As suggested moved this post over from 1945-Present Forum, Thanks for any help.

Hello,

After much thought went back to my favorite pawn shop to pick up a another I frame revolver he had. (See my pre 35 post above in the 1945- present forum)

What I have is a 6 inch 5 screw revolver with SN# 193XXX, The walnut type diamond extention grips have a seperate SN# which is 11XX. Is a round butt, has a pinned barrel, has a 6 shot non recessed cylinder, the tiny Trade mark is on the left side of the frame. Has a Flat latch, a thin blade front pinned in place, knurled round end extractor rod and adjustable rear sights.

85%-90% plus condition, last patent date on top of barrel is Sept 14, 1909

Do I have a .22/.32 Heavy Frame Target? Any idea of build date? Are these the right grips?

Picture below. Any Idea of current value?


Thanks again, olypenn22

Yes it's a .22/.32 Heavy Frame Target, AKA a "Bekeart" if I spelled it right.

The grips look just right, the front sight may not be original. Probably shipped around 1912-1913.

The consensus around here is that you should only fire standard velocity rounds in it.

Search this forum for Bekeart for more history.

Looks like you go a keeper. Congratulations
